Wow. The weird thing is that he calls what you guys do ranting. I wonder what he thinks he’s doing?

He really sounds like a stereotype of a trial lawyer apologist–ignoring the arguments and just repeating how awful what the victim went through is until he’s blue in the face. No matter what argument you use, he’ll say “But look what happened to this poor girl!”
